 Gil Roper

I must acknowledge the recent passing of Gil Roper.  He and his wife Helen have been members of our group for many years.  Gil was well respected and liked in the Tawa and Tawa U3A communities.  In recent years he and Helen gave presentations on holidays in Morocco, the Middle East and Ecuador.  I know that Gil was also a member of the U3A choir and led a Botany Group.  He will be missed.  Our deepest sympathies are with Helen and their family in their sad loss.

His funeral was at the Tawa Anglican Church on Tuesday 7th March

Tawa U3A is a group of people who are free during the day to gather for activities of interest.

We organise courses to teach subjects of interest like Art , Ancestry or Ukulele.

There are Discussion groups where you can express your point of view, and games both indoor and outdoor.

Talks are arranged on topics of interest like Health, History or Travel. We cooperate with other U3A groups and share sessions.

All up, we offer more than 50 learning and social opportunities at minimal cost.

You are certain to find some things that are of interest to you.
